🦵 Your Immune System Can Attack Your Muscles After a Simple Infection

A condition known as Guillain-Barré Syndrome can cause the body’s immune system to mistakenly attack the nerves, often after a mild illness like a cold or stomach bug.

  • It can begin with tingling in the feet or hands
  • In severe cases, it can lead to temporary paralysis
  • Most people recover—but it can take months or even years

👉 What’s surprising: A routine infection can trigger a full-body neurological response with life-altering effects.
